Anger, Impassioned Pleas For Safety At Tribute For Sarah Jones: “No One Should Ever Die On A Television Or Movie Set. Period.”

“We are all Sarah Jones,” “Never Forget. Never Again,” and “Safety for Sarah” were the rallying cries tonight during the first of two tributes held this weekend by local unions for the 27 year-old assistant camerawoman killed on the set of Midnight Rider two weeks ago. The tribute began at 7 PM with candlelight walk and vigil that started at the DGA building and ended at the International Cinematographers Guild Local 600 offices two blocks down Sunset Blvd.

The crowd of almost 1,000 members from across several unions participated in the memorial vigil held for Jones who was killed on a train track on the set in Georgia. Seven others were injured included two seriously — the 42 year-old hairstylist Joyce Gilliard and the make-up artist.

A scholarship fund has been set up in Sarah Jones’ name and donations can be made to the BCHS Foundation in c/o Sarah Jones, 1300 State St., Cayce, SC 29034.

The evening’s tribute began with a video slide presentation of Sarah Jones set to the music of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (the Brother Iz version) as her grieving (and very courageous) parents, Elizabeth and Richard Jones from South Carolina, along with members of the Local 600 — including a very emotional Bruce Doering, National Executive Director of the International Cinematographers Guild — spoke, but none so impassioned as Mike Miller, VP of the IATSE.

That's what I'm saying. But it is even worse in the indie world. How many times do...

“The words tonight are wholly inadequate; it’s going to be the actions that we take away from this that is going to make a difference. It makes me sad but also it makes me very angry: No one should ever die making a movie or a television show,” he said. “The loss of Sarah and the trauma and injuries that other members of the crew must now live with should never have happened. It’s not acceptable for crew — husbands, wives, sons or daughters — to be put in harms way on any shoot, no matter the budget, no matter the project, no matter the location. It should never happen. What happened on that train trestle in Georgia horrifies us all. It can never happen again. No one should die making movies or television. Period! No worker should ever be afraid of speaking up or speaking out, reaching out or refusing to participate if they feel they are in an unsafe situation.”

Robert LaBonge, who worked with Jones for three to four years on Army Wivesand mentored her remembered Sarah’s sparkling eyes and joyful enthusiasm. Her friend Amanda Etheridge also spoke about her energy and beautiful spirit,and Sarah’s father, Richard (in deep pain and anguish), choked on emotion as he said as he looked out at the crowd of production people gathered, he felt he was among Sarah’s family. “They were filming a dream sequence, but it became our nightmare … do not have a reason for another father to stand up here and give this talk. No one’s daughter and no one’s son should ever die again making a film. Never.” He then pointed to one person after another in the crowd and said, “You are Sarah Jones.”

The crowd was moved to tears as her father spoke. Hundreds of candles burned across a sea of people who wore shirts that carried the message, “Never forget. Never Again,” and “We Are All Sarah Jones” which Rob Mendel from the DGA (on ADs/UPM council) handed out on safety vests with the words printed on the back of them. Others wore stickers that read “Safety for Sarah.”

Hundreds of people stood shoulder to shoulder holding candles, many in tears. “We are here to stand in solidarity as sisters and brothers to demand the safety of all workers in their workplace,” said Steven Poster (ASC), president of the International Cinematographers Guild. “We must never ever forget this tragedy … the death of Sarah Jones will stand for something and will hold its place of honor in our industry for years to come. There is much to be discovered about this tragedy but we don’t need to have the facts to know one basic truth: No movie, no TV show and no job opportunity is worth the sacrifice of a human life.”

For those in attendance, set safety was utmost on their minds. “I’m here to show my support of Sarah Jones because her life matters,” said boom operator Tanya Peel who has worked for 16 years in the industry. Added Jennifer Caldwell, a SAG-AFTRA member, “Safety is so important in our industry and it is vital that people speak up when they don’t feel safe. I’ve had to do it myself and sometimes there is a lot pressure not to, but it is vital.”

Jones was tragically killed February 20 on the set of director Randall Miller‘s Midnight Rider, a film based on the life of singer Gregg Allman, when she was caught on the tracks and killed by a train as the production crew was filming a dream sequence. The picture was to be distributed in the states by Open Road Pictures. Production has since been shut down until further notice. An investigation into her death and the injuries of others is ongoing.

Jones’ death has spawned a flurry of commentary and calls to action regarding film safety across Hollywood. She has become the symbol of what has become an international movement in production communities. Several black ribbons were seen during Sunday’s Oscars ceremony including by Best Sound Editing winner Glenn Freemantle of Gravity. She was mentioned during the Oscarcast following the In Memoriam segments in a graphic pointing viewers to the Academy’s website. And ‘Slates for Sarah’ – a movement involving production companies all over the world writing her names on movie and tv slates and taking pictures of it and posting on the Slates for Sarah Facebook page — is continuing to grow.

Billy A. Fox, a location manager and scout for 31 years who has worked on about 27 films including I’ll Remember April and Reservoir Dogs as well as 1,000 TV spots and music videos, said that people on the set either need to “do it right or say we’re not doing it.” He said there was no reason whatsoever to have anyone die on a set and he himself has left a set when he felt that safety was being compromised. Added Sharon Day, from the Local 892 Costume Designers Guild who held a banner with her friend Betty Madden, “We’re standing up for Sarah and are here to honor her and Sarah’s parents and begging for job site safety. Everyone says she was a light. She was a beautiful spirit and everyone loved her. This tragedy is a wake-up call and we’re not going to take this lightly.”

In the times we live in, no one should die on a movie or television set. A 27 year old woman could live to see her future, we must do all that we can to ensure that something like this does not happen again.

Ed • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Next time get the proper permits. Wasted life to get a shot. Idiots.

jf • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

At a screening of HER at The Academy, Spike Jonze told a story about being denied permits to shoot in a subway station in Japan and his crew doing it anyway and running when they were caught (they got their shot). Mr. Jonze, along with his cast and crew at the talk after the film laughed as did the audience. Granted they weren’t shooting on tracks, but don’t assume that only low budget productions are trying to go around the rules.
I also laughed at Mr. Jonze’ story. It doesn’t seem very funny now.

Bill C • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

I’m probably going to anger some people here but the time to complain isn’t when someone needlessly dies. A year and a half ago I watched the film Beasts of the Southern Wild and immediately noticed numerous and obvious safety throughout the film. I mean, the poster for the film is a 7 year old girl running through fireworks explosions holding sparklers. I did a quick check and easily found out that the on set “medic” was an actor friend of director Behn Zeitlan as was the on set teacher for 7 year old Quvenzhané Wallis. These are jobs that require extensive training on regular Hollywood sets.

I mentioned this to a few friends with connections at film fests and none of them wanted to hear it. They like the politics of the film and felt that since it was an indie film such things should be overlooked. That’s why these horrible accidents continue to happen on indie sets in Georgia, Louisiana and the Carolinas. As well as in LA and NY. Until we call out the films that get awards at the films fests for breaking laws and regs other people will keep breaking the rules hoping for that brass ring. And that is why the Sarah Jones get hurt and sometimes killed.

bounder • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Though it’s hard to imagine Randall Miller will ever work again, reading this is like reading the quotes from the stunt drivers on “Blues Brothers” who were all like, “The car gags were so crazy we were shocked nobody got hurt!”

Bill C • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

That’s what I’m saying. But it is even worse in the indie world. How many times do we go to Q & A’s at film fests or read interviews where the filmmakers of last year’s indie darling brag about not having permits, sneaking onto property without permission. It happens all the time and no one ever stands up and calls them out for their reckless behavior. In fact, they are often praised for being “daring”. And all the liberals in the audience suddenly have no conscience regarding worker’s rights because the film is this year’s critical darling. Until everyone calls out dangerous work conditions EVEN when the film is this year’s cool movie we’ll continue to have crewmembers being mistreated and worse.

WhateverMan • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Who doesn’t see a train coming? Really.

Focuspuller • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Did you see this coming? YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

WhateverMan • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Please explain why I am idiot. Really.

I saw a train coming. I got out of the way. I got permits when I shot a movie in a dangerous location. I took precautions when working in a dangerous locations. Just because you point a camera or hold a clapboard doesn’t mean the laws of physics or common sense don’t apply to you. It doesn’t make you special. It just means you are at work.

When you do stupid things, bad things will happen. They are called repercussions. And the pretentiousness of being on a film screw – er, crew – doesn’t give you a free pass.

I get to be insensitive now precisely because I wasn’t an idiot then.

While no one deserves to die, no one deserves to do stupid things, either. And as part of a film crew, she had a duty to speak up for safety.

If no one even acknowledged the danger of the situation, then they were stupid. No one deserves to die, but it is not as if the danger wasn’t readily apparent.

Excpired • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

What I don’t get is this whole never again statement. Never Again will someone die on a film set? That is ludicrous, people die while sitting in a cubicle when they have an epileptic seizure from the monitor. Films are inherently dangerous because you will inevitably have to shoot something that requires a stunt or something out in the real world and any of those situations can potentially kill you.

People won’t stop dying on film sets, whether or not we have regulations and safety precautions its just a fact. Why are people so outraged? If she was concerned for her safety she should have spoken up and so should everyone else, there is also the whole concept of being more careful. I’ve seen people on construction sites fall off a 5 foot wall and get impaled by re-bar or lose their hand/fingers to various equipment and that is while being careful.

Accidents happen, this is being blown way out of proportion. If you want to be completely safe all the time sit inside your home and hope that a jet engine doesn’t fall on your house.

John McCormick • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

The sad truth is it takes this kind of event to make us realize that what we do is just a job. I worked on Pleasantville when Brent Hershman died and we finally stopped insane 19 hour days. Sarah Jones tragic loss might help young artist in all fields realize that no job is worth the rest of you life, lets hope so.

ari • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Does anyone know the specifics of this tragedy. It’s been impossible to find a description anywhere.

The article in HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, interviewing a makeup artist that was injured, and photos of the railroad trestle fill in details that were otherwise difficult to find. The circumstances around this death are almost insane. There were so many errors in judgment that the situation becomes a farce. Everyone knew that there were no permits and that they had sixty seconds to escape if a train appeared yet they put a dangerous prop on the tracks that couldn’t possibly removed in that limited time frame. The bridge is so narrow that there was no way to evade the wide train by merely jumping to one side or the other safely (according to the article). A disturbing note is that there were several established actors there and that it wasn’t a fly by night production. This accident could not have taken place in Hollywood with the fire marshalls, police, and location managers that are a part of the rules of the game here. These rules should be enforced anywhere a film production occurs by someone immune from repercussions from producers or directors. This appears to be the most senseless tragedy in the recent history of film because of the carelessness (stupidity) of almost everyone involved. The UPM and AD are particularly complicit since they know the insanity of directors. The whole sad affair must result in something positive.

pete • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Unfortunately it is TWILIGHT ZONE all over again. Have we learned nothing? None of the DGA members on that production were convicted of any crime. IT IS OUR OWN FILMMAKING COMMUNITY WHO LET THIS SHIT HAPPEN. Maybe this tragedy will finally make sets safer.

Nick Marks • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Every week our many of our members put there safety and lives on the line for the worlds best entertainment. Professionals and safety are often the only things that keep this kind of tragedy from happening much to often.

We depend on caring production companies and the professionals that they use to keep us safe.

This should NEVER happen!

Indrid Cold • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

I’m going to join in with some of the negativity and add that it’s always funny to me when people claim “Never Forget — Never Again”. Not really “funny” so much as curious: How many days, weeks or months will it take before this event is forgotten? And how many weeks, months or years before it happens again?

OD • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

IATSE has done NOTHING to protect film/tv workers over the years. The recent rollbacks for a 10 hour turnaround to a 9 hour turnaround in some of the contracts would support that. IATSE did not send their president to talk at the rally…only the VP.

FOCUSPULLER • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

As you should know the risks in posting misinformed, stupid, and thoughtless comments. You have no idea what you are talking about and the very fact you chose to comment anyway speaks volumes about your status as a pathetic human being.

WhateverMan • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

All of your comments, focuspuller, are devoid of logic or the presentation of a point at all. All you do is launch insults. Not only that, but they are pretty bad ones too, completely devoid of originality or even an attempt of originality.

But it seems you are throwing a tantrum. Tell us WHY you feel the way you do. It seems you think a film crew should be automatically excused from all common sense and responsibility just because they are a film crew.

SHARON DAY • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

THE TRAGEDY OCCURED ON A TRESSEL BRINDGE AND I THINK IT WAS A COVERED TRAIN…IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE RAILROAD SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED. WHEN PSERMITS TO FILM ARE ARRANGED IT IS THE DUTY OF THE RAILWAY TO SECURE THE AREA…DO NOT BE SO CAVALIER ABOUT SAFETY…WHOM-EVER YOU ARE THAT SAYS THERE IS NOOTHING TO SEE HERE…YOU DONT KNOW SHIT.

RW • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

They didn’t have a permit to shoot. The director decided to chance it. The railway isn’t at fault here. The filmmakers are.

jjsemp • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

The film crew did not have permits to shoot on the tracks. They only had prmits to shoot on the land near the tracks. The railway was not to blame.

A • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

They did not have permits, and were trespassing.

Robert mendel • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

The author is correct that I am from the DGA only insomuch as I walked with the others FROM the DGA to the memorial gathering. I sit as an elected member of the DGA AD/UPM Council, though, and I proposed several months ago that the Guild should have safety vests made with the logo on the back and given to the members because in my experience as a location manager, a great number of crew members including assistant directors seem embarrassed to wear reflective high visibility garments as required by osha. And it seemed to me that changing the culture of embarrassment to one of pride might be in order. Unsurprisingly, the council declined to act on my proposal. I paid to have a handful of vests made for this memorial in order to shine a light on how easy it would be to make the safety vest a symbol of Sarah’s sacrifice and a renewed commitment to set safety. However I don’t underestimate the mediocrity of this industry and the commitment to changing. I re – proposed to the AD/UPM Council this past Wednesday night at the meeting that the Guild should make and distribute vests for the members to emblemize this tragedy’s historic importance going forward in the push for better safety practices. I’m not holding my breath, though.

ari • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Are you suggesting that by wearing safety vests the crew members would have had the train stop? The accident occurred through the breaking of rules and the lack of common sense. The circumstances still are not clear. They have been reported to have been on a trestle without a permit. I don’t believe there is any such thing as an unscheduled train. The amount of negligence here seems monumental. A train track is a little over four feet wide and it means that you can get out of danger with a singe step. The young lady was trying to retrieve a mattress from the tracks when she was killed. The tragedy and its circumstances are beyond absurd. Safety vests? Really?

Andy • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Please don’t use this forum to tangentially deflect blame by talking about safety vests. Three of your DGA members (director, UPM and 1st AD) will most likely be brought up on criminal negligent homicide charges. They asked for, and were denied a permit to shoot on the railroad tracks, yet they went ahead and tried to steal a shot. And as a result Sarah Jones lost her life and others were injured.

Robert mendel • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

My motives for introducing the idea of using safety vests as a stepping off point for the dga to take a more proactive attitude toward leadership on issues of overall safety, and for all film workers to seize on their increased use as a symbol of an overall effort toward meaningful change on this issue, are partly personal surrounding this tragedy, because my sister at age 27, 27 years ago , was struck and killed by a slow moving freight train in indiana. Sarah was 27. I’m just a little too sad to respond your flaming here, so goodbye.

Anonymous2 • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Andy, I agree with you that safety vests are not the issue here, and it’s absolutely a deflection to go there.

I am a DGA AD, and I can tell you that every AD I’ve spoken to is just as horrified by the conduct here as you and I are. I cannot understand how any AD would send their crew into a dangerous situation like this. The AD is the Safety Manager on the set – the crew looks to me to be watching out for potential problems, not causing them. Were I on this movie, I would have refused to have the company shoot under these circumstances. The other ADs I know have said the same to me when we have discussed this. The very notion of sending your crew into danger is insanity.

Any production person who knowingly sent that crew onto the trestle is looking at serious criminal issues here – particularly with a paper trail on the denial of permission to shoot there. That would include the director, the producers, the UPM and the ADs. I don’t know what the state of Georgia will do, but I strongly believe this does fall under the category of negligent homicide.

I attended the vigil last night along with several members of my last crew. I saw multiple ADs there, along with people from crews I’ve worked over the past 20 years. I’m glad that there was a strong showing from all areas – if only to show Sarah Jones’ parents that there are plenty of us who care about what happened here, and do not wish to see it repeated. I repeatedly said to people last night that I was happy to see them but unhappy about the reason. Sarah Jones should NEVER have been put in this situation. I would much rather to have met her and worked with her than attend a vigil for a death that should not have happened.

They have all lawyered up by now and will not be heard from until they are on trial….if it ever goes to trial.
The director Randall Miller and his producer wife Jody Savin have hired a pricey PR firm to TRY to create a positive spin about their careless irresponsible behavior that led to the death of Sarah Jones and injury to other crew members.
This tragedy should have never happened.
I truly hope that the people responsible are exposed and brought to justice.

Writer • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

I have been tremendously horrified by this senseless tragedy. And troublingly, I think we are all responsible for it, in a way.

Responsible because it is we who have created the film community culture. And there is something wrong with that culture if a director can say, “Let’s shoot a scene on an operating train track without permits” and people don’t react like he took a dump on their lawn.

Even people who are arguing for a change in the culture seem to be arguing for “People should either feel safe or say they’re not doing it.” In my opinion, the culture should change enough that people should either feel safe or they should feel very comfortable calling the union or the police to stop it. And every one of their colleagues should cheer them on.

Getting to that place is going to take a lot of work.

I think putting the people who killed Sarah in jail will be a good first step in changing the culture in a meaningful way. And the massive lawsuits that certainly will follow will also make the money people mindful of safety on their sets.

But as the speakers at the memorial reminded us, the big change has to start with us. Yes, we are all Sarah. But if we don’t change the culture, we are also all her killer.

WhateverMan • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

No, we are not all responsible for it.

She is responsible. The director is responsible. The producers are responsible. The rest of the crew is responsible.

All this effort of “Slates” and “We are all” is a BS PR effort that exists only to hide the fact that they were all doing something dumb.

You want to know how to make sure this doesn’t happen again? Any location that shows up in a movie that wasn’t a permitted location can then sue the production and studio for ownership of the entire movie, so no more dangerous locations or non-permitted locations will ever show up in a movie. Also have any non-permitted locations automatically barring the movie from distribution. In essence each location has its own copyright. People cannot steal a script and film it, the cannot steal an actor’s likeness and film it, sp no one should be able to steal a location either.

Problem solved.

WhateverMan • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Please explain why. I saw a train coming. I got out of the way. I got permits when I shot a movie in a dangerous location. I took precautions when working in a dangerous locations.

Today we mourn Sarah. Tomorrow, it’s back to work as usual.

Vic Morrow, Brandon Lee and now Sarah Jones. Hollywood never learns.

show_us_the_permit • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

After Sarah was killed the UPM held a crew meeting and had the nerve to state: “Sarah would’ve wanted us to continue the picture” That’s when the crew spoke up and replied, “Sarah would’ve wanted us to be in the room! Where is the permit?” The UPM then looked at his lawyer and simply said, “It’s complicated.” Randall Miller boasted on the commentary of CBGB that he worked without permits in dangerous locations. Now an innocent life is lost due to his gross negligence. Him, his wife and the entire producing staff should all do jail time if there is truly any justice. Sadly, due to the fact that they will all be represented by the most expensive lawyers Hollywood or Georgia has to offer, that will never happen. One can only hope that at the very least they all are blacklisted from the industry.

Editor • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

This should never have happened. A terrible tragedy. The scary thing is, Sarah or any if us could just as easily have died by being sleep deprived driving home. Production has it the worst, but Editors only get an 8 hour turnaround. It’s not that unusual to work 6 or 7 days a week. With travel to/from we may be living for months on about 5 hours of sleep per night. This needs to change. Talk to your Guild Reps.

outsider • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

I’m not in the industry. Is it possible/likely that some of the “costs” filmmakers are trying to avoid are safety-related? Is this why filmmakers are taking their projects to other states? Could this incident have occurred in California? I’m not trolling but really want to know. What action is the State of Georgia taking? Do they even have an OSHA?

You r a schmuck • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Yet another uninformed idiot who knows nothing about the concentration the IATSE has put on long hours. Bet you didn’t know that in some contracts we now hit TRIPLE time to discourage producers from overworking crews. Protections like that are being implemented wherever possible to protect us. But they don’t make splashy headlines or get people worked up. So you go on and keep spewing your idiotic garbage about the OLD IATSE while the rest of us move on into the future. JACKASS!

Ditto • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Sarah was a 27-year-old woman who trusted her director when he told her to get to work. You are still an idiot.

ari • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

What is being ignored here is that the young woman was killed by doing a courageous act, trying to remove a prop from the tracks for fear the train would be derailed. She is more a hero than a victim. That doesn’t excuse the stupidity of the production by putting the crew and actors in harm’s way. At issue is the trust that the film crews put in the hands of the producers and directors that is no different than the trust that the military puts to their officers and for whatever reason they were led to disaster.

Andy • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

Robert Mendel: Here’s why safety vests is an issue not to be brought up now. The trial of public opinion is well under way and Randall Miller and the others’ attorneys and PR specialists will bring up the issue of safety vests; of John Landis; everything to deflect the sole issue: the filmmakers asked for and were denied permission to shoot on the tracks. They decided to “steal” the shot and someone lost their life. Talking about anything else in forums like this indirectly plays into the defense attorney’s hands. Stay on point people.

Jcvd • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

@jf
Big difference between shooting without permits (a staple of guerrilla filmmaking) and putting people in harms way. They are not the same thing.

diiference? • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

@jcvd Explain the difference please. It is this mentality that the rules and laws don’t apply to us because we’re “indie” filmmakers and not playing by “their” rules that leads directly to what happened. Film permits are probably unnecessary on many occasions but by following the proper protocol it is not left to the discretion of any individual filmmaker as to what safety parameters exist. Sorry but this is one area where I do not think that a director or producer should be left to their own devices.

sully • on Mar 7, 2014 10:27 pm

I think the thing is is that only a select few knew they were stealing a shot and rolled the dice. The rest of the crew probably figured they were in good hands and owned the location. But from it sounds like, is that they did not have radios or a pa far down at either side of the tracks nor a railroad guy which is standard.

I hope this film never gets finished and the people responsible for her death go to jail.
